Feb 17, 2013 · VirtualBox does not check at this point that the host port actually exists. Nor does it guarantee that your host OS will allow VirtualBox to use that port. In particular, if you install a parallel port printer driver on the host, and if that driver opens the parallel port when the host starts up, then that port may not be available for the ...

Mar 04, 2010 · As discussed, motherboards are still being built with a parallel port.

Aug 26, 2015 · The virtual machine or guest OS does not have direct access to the hardware of your host computer unless VirtualBox provides an interface or passthrough. I would say parallel printer ports are pretty much obsolete and have been replaced with ethernet or USB. Anyway, VirtualBox does support LPT, but it isn't in the menu.
